Amp Comparison Video

Post by Mathew Jut »

Hey y'all, here is a new video of me doing an amp comparison video. Something different than I usually do, so I hope you guys appreciate the content. I didn't add a lot of details into the video, so let your ears decide which amp sounds the best in your honest opinion and without further ado, enjoy the video! :)

Matthew, they all sound good but my choice was the Nashville 400. Maybe it was due to its position to your recorder. Tone is subjective and we all hear something different.

Having had both a 400 Limited and Nashville 400, I gotta go with the Emmon's. Maybe it was proximity to the mic, I don't know, but to me the Emmon's had a more "Complete" sound to it. Full and rich.

I cannot decide yet on my favorite amp yet, but the two favorites are now the Emmons Lashley Legrande 600 (it got that bite in the amp) and Nashville 400.

I surely do agree with you on that Dale. The Emmons & NV400 overall in this video comes out the best, the only part that I cannot judge is how the Emmons Amp it's doing the job on a gig / studio work. It does look very very promising. Something to find out very soon! :)

I fully agree with your statement here about the tone and hearing abilities, everyone should go with what they find the best. One of the reasons why I did this video is to find out which amp suits me the best, and to hear other opinions. For now I've got to go with the Emmons & NV400 amp.

Use the one that's easiest to tote around. You sound great on each of them.
